Payment for any and all Services purchased will be made by check, cash, credit card, or wire transfer by the Due Date. If Customer uses a credit card as its payment method, 2.5% of the Service Cost will be added to the payment. In the event Customer fails to pay in full by the Due Date, the outstanding balance will be subject to a late fee equal to 1.5% for each month the outstanding balance remains unpaid (calculated as 18% per annum).  All payments received will be applied first to any late fees and/or interest and thereafter to the cost of the Services.

5) Prices: All prices for Services will be set forth on the Contract and attachments thereto and will be binding on upon the Customer. Customer hereby expressly grants Campbell permission to fax and/or email prices for Services to the fax number and email address set forth below.  All prices are exclusive of all city, state, and federal sales and excise taxes, including, without limitation, taxes on sales, receipts, or use.

7) Performance: Campbell will complete Services ordered by Customer at the location(s) specified by the Contract, subject to this Agreement. Delivery dates of Services are not guaranteed, and Campbell will not be held responsible for any delay in performance or delivery, regardless of cause.  Customer further agrees that Campbell’s invoice will be conclusive of Campbell’s actual delivery and Customer’s receipt and acceptance of all Services indicated on the invoice unless Customer objects in writing within ten (10) days of the date of the invoice.

8) Default: Upon Customer’s default under any term or condition of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Customer’s payment obligations or insolvency as determined in the sole discretion of Campbell, and then Campbell may, at its option, stop completion of the Services until paid in cash, in full.

10) Excess Costs. If at any time the Services require extra costs above the cost specified or estimated in the Contract that were reasonably unforeseen, but necessary (material cost increases due to inflation or market conditions), Campbell will present the Customer with a change order addendum to reflect the extra cost. The parties acknowledge and agree that Campbell is not required to get Customer’s consent for excess cost that is less than $5,000. Prior to the Customer’s acceptance of a change order addendum for any Services related to an excess cost, Campbell will disclose to the Customer that if the Customer fails to approve a change order addendum for excess cost, completion of the work may not be possible and a charge may be imposed for any disassembly, reassembly, or partially completed work, which shall be directly related to the actual labor or parts involved.

11) Specifications for Services.

a) Snow Plowing. Snow plowing, shoveling and/or de-icing coverage begins as required in the Contract. This applies to both seasonal and per visit agreements.  Periodic plowing, shoveling and/or de-icing of those areas specified under this agreement are defined as follows:  these services will be performed at the sole discretion of Campbell during an active storm depending on the snowstorm’s length at the sole discretion of Campbell during an active storm depending on the snowstorm’s length and severity.  It is understood that, depending on the length and severity of the storm, it may take Campbell varying amounts of time to fulfill all work under this agreement.  Campbell is not responsible for the following:  damage to existing landscaping or any damages that occur to asphalt, concrete, stone or other surfaces as a result of snow plowing, shoveling and/or de-icing services.  Campbell assumes no responsibility for vehicles parked illegally or in areas that Campbell has indicated to Customer to be in a location that causes a hazard or impedes the performance of its work.  Customer understands that plowing, shoveling and/or de-icing of a particular location will not clear the area to “bare pavement” and that slippery conditions may continue to prevail even after plowing/shoveling or the application of de-icing materials.  Campbell assumes no liability for this commonly occurring condition and Customer does hereby waive and release Campbell for any liability or damages in regard to such conditions.  Customer agrees to defend and hold Campbell harmless for any and all claims or suits that may arise as a result of these conditions.  In the event of extreme conditions (i.e., excessive temperature or snowfall totals) or it becomes necessary to move or remove piles of snow, there will be a charge of Ninety-five Dollars ($95.00) per hour for heavy equipment services.  There will be a minimum of two (2) hours charged for equipment loading, destination charges and equipment unloading.  This applies to both seasonal and per visit agreements.  These services will be rendered at the discretion of Customer and as Campbell’s time permits.

b) Snow Shoveling. All entrances, walkways, stairways, and handicap access ramps will be serviced on an as needed basis to be determined by Campbell at such time as it has operators actively on site. During extreme conditions, Campbell has the right to focus its Services primarily on the primary entrances and exits of the Customers, then will complete services on the ancillary areas after the extreme conditions are complete.

c) De-Icing. De-icing materials of Campbell’s choice will be applied to the driveway/parking lot, walkway, stairways and handicap access ramp areas at its discretion. The decision as to when and how much material is to be applied is based on many factors including but not limited to:  current ground temperature, current weather forecasts received by Campbell and future weather predictions.  Campbell will exercise its judgment in providing the Services based upon existing conditions and future weather forecasts.

12) Cancellation. Except as otherwise stated in the Contract or in this Agreement, the Contract is not subject to cancellation or holdup upon completion of Services except with Campbell’s written consent, and only upon such terms agreed to by Campbell that will compensate Campbell for its loss from such cancellation or holdup upon completion of Services.

13) Effect of Termination.

a) The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not release Customer from any obligation under this Agreement, unless this Agreement was terminated by Campbell for convenience.

b) Following termination of this Agreement for any reason other than for Campbell’s termination for convenience, Campbell will invoice Customer for any outstanding fees and expenses due and owing under the entire length of this Agreement and Customer must promptly pay all such outstanding fees and expenses, which includes costs and expenses described in Section 13(c), below (“Termination Fee”). The parties intend the Termination Fee to be liquidated damages constituting compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages resulting from termination would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Termination Fee is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that may arise from such termination.

c) In the event that that Autonomous Mowers are used in the performance of the Services, Customer agrees to pay Campbell any and all installation costs associated with such Autonomous Mowers, which includes labor and material costs for buried wire, GPS units, etc.

14) Disclaimer: Campbell will not be responsible for any damage or injury resulting from or caused by its sale or completion of Services hereunder, including, without limitation, any delays or losses, unless such damage or injury is directly caused by the willful misconduct of Campbell or unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Furthermore, Campbell will not be responsible for any damage or injury resulting to or caused by the completion, installation, storage, or use of the Services by Customer, including without limitation, that Campbell will not be liable for any damages that Campbell, its agents, or subcontractors cause to Customer’s driveways, walkways, patios, and other similar areas, whether concrete or otherwise, even if the party causing the damage was negligent.  Campbell will not be liable for any damages caused in connection with any item in the landscape that is not readily apparent to Campbell or its agents during operation of the equipment. Customer understands that it has the responsibility of the health of the lawn and even after the best of lawn practices by Campbell, a lawn could develop bad health.
